Excellent, beautiful, and comfortable!!

The location, accommodations, and design are excellent! Comfortable bed, great work space, and a lovely little balcony to sit outside. The location couldn't have been better, as you can walk to so many restaurants, stores, and the beach. Even with everything around, it was very quiet (except the Amtrak train horn, which we loved hearing)! I will note that the TVs are as big as pictured and you have to be careful not to run into the one in the bedroom when walking to the far side of the bed.The host was phenomenal - easy communication and very generous! They went out of their way to make sure everything was right for us. Highly recommend!
